As I keep seeing commercials for The Jimmy Fund Walk, it brings back a special memory.
Cori, Al's girlfriend (and Jimmy Fund psychologist), was always there for Alec to help him in any way she could. When he needed his port accessed (his needle) at the clinic and even at the H (Hospital), we would call Cori and she would be there within minutes to comfort him, and talk to him, with bubbles or a toy to help ease his fears. Alec loved Cori, and he loved knowing that he could call her when he needed her and she would be there for him. His first request was always to call Cori.
When Alec was having headaches and we were in the "H", waiting for a scan or test, not sure and I don't want to remember. Anyway Alec asked us to call Cori because he was scared and worried. So Keith called her and she told him she was not in the clinic , she had the day off because she had walked the 26 mile Jimmy Fund Walk the day before and took the day off to recover. But she said , "I will be there as fast as I can, I live close by." Keith told her , not to come in, to stay home and rest. But she didn't even hesitate, she said , I'll be right there". And she was, she came limping in no make-up on--still looking so pretty, which shows that she rushed out the door and only cared about getting to Alec ASAP. She came right over to Alec and talked to him and tried comforting him. It wasn't toys or any technique that Alec needed, it was Cori that Alec needed. Just seeing her, just her presence and her love is what Alec loved and needed. This is the love that they shared and this is the devotion of a beautiful, loving , caring Doctor (and girlfriend) that goes above and beyond.
